Coffee Blog Hop & SALE with Joy Clair Designs

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Joy Clair Designs Coffee Blog Hop and SALE!

All of the instructions for entering the hop will be at the end of my post here!  So exciting when we get to share a hop with all of you for a chance to win a prize from Joy Clair Designs!  Let me show you how I made my card. 

 I was really inspired by this paper...it's called Champagne and to me just highlights everything we love and get excited about coffee!  I used the Coffee Mood Digistamp.  I love this set just for the variety of coffee cups!!!  As I said, I already had my paper chosen and it's a slimline size.  So I composed my design in the computer and printed it out onto Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Solar White card stock.

I wanted to cut these out and paper piece them...so easy with digistamps.  I printed out the design

again onto copy paper and then cut out the 2 sleeves.  Then using a pencil I traced around them onto

my patterned paper.  I would have printed directly onto the patterned paper, but it is coated and

with the fussy cutting right up to the edge it would not have worked.

I cut them out and then really trimmed them to fit and then went around the edges with a

black marker.

Next I colored the cups with Copic Markers.  My coloring was simple but enough

to give the cups some depth and dimension.  For the cup shading I used: BG70,

BG72, BG75.  For the lids I used E31, E33, E35.

I then adhered the sleeves with liquid adhesive.

I then took my BG75 marker and give a bit more shading to the inside edge

of the sleeves.

Next I fussy cut the image.  This has such clean lines that it was a snap to fussy

cut.  Then I went around the edges with a black marker.  I made a white slimline

base for my card.  The card when folded measures 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".  I printed

the sentiment on the left side of this paper in my computer.

I took it out of the printer and immediately poured clear embossing powder 

over it and heat embossed it.  The paper has a coating on it and I knew that the

printer ink would not dry properly and most likely smudge.  I added some 

darker gold gemstones to the panel.

Next I added the coffee cup piece popped up on foam tape to the right

side of the card.  I added 2 mirror gold heart stickers to the cups and

that finished my card!

And now for the hop and SALE info!
